What did everyone cook today?
-
I saw on Texas Tech’s meatlab Facebook page, they are making blueberry sausage. Anybody out in West Texas tried this?

YooperDog Mushrooms are the devil! https://fitnessforthegame.wordpress.com/2014/10/02/the-battle-for-electrolytes/ just replace water with mushrooms and that is how I feel. But let’s be fair, calldoctoday has made numerous pizzas that look amazing and didn’t have mushrooms on them!
Jonathon I grew up with mushrooms were a basic kitchen staple. My wife is not a big fanso I don’t get my fix as often, but still go through about a pound every two weeks. Even without the mushrooms those pizzas look good.

Today was a shrimp and cheesy grits day with pineapple upside down cake for dessert. Prepping a pork shoulder for a birthday dinner on Friday.
-
OOOOHHH, that sounds Deeelicious! I can just taste it.

The shrimp and cheesy grits didn’t last long enough for a picture. I made two cakes, one remains. Doing a BBQ cook for our youngest birthday tomorrow. Looking like a pork shoulder, pinto beans and creamed corn. Dessert is undecided. I will try to get some pictures. -
That Pineapple cake looks really good. I am surprised you have any of that left.
Made a real nice & absolutely delicious Beef Stew in the crock pot yesterday along with Porter Honey Dinner Rolls. I did no0t take any photos this time either as although rolls tasted very good, they looked more like Hallula Rolls. The problem was, I was not trying to make a Hallula Roll, I was trying to make a nice Porter Honey Dinner Roll to complement the Beef Stew with lots of vegetables too. -

After the pulled pork from the pork shoulder, creamed corn and pinto beans, tne slices became a bit smaller. This is the first time in nine years that I didn’t make beef stew or chili during the winter. I might have to try to squeeze it in before it warms up around here. Sounds like a tasty meal.

Yes, you must make it. You must make both of them. I understand though, as the years have gone by, I seem to make it less than before, but at least once.

Tex, tried your Maple this morning & it beats Cinnamon hands down. Use Maple Extract instead of Lemon & Vanilla on the icing. Only thing I can think of that I messed up is I should have used the maple with butter & sugar for the filling too vs the cinnamon, Cinnamon Extract, & sugar. That would have been some pretty intense Maple. Just in the icing though it was great!. Maybe I should have smoked em with Maple Wood!

calldoctoday nice! I was going to do cinnamon rolls this weekend, but I’ve been working on another project in the yard.

If you can get your hands on some maple sugar you might be able to reduce the sugar and replace the cinnamon. It is a bit pricey though.

Just getting to pull out a cheesy scalloped potatoes and ham casserole. Cured and smoked my first full ham for Easter, need to use up some of that meat.

Tex, I understand that. I am so far behind on this place, not to mention loosing all my energy, that it is embarrassing & humiliating. Canned up some more fresh asparagus & made up a gallon of home fries to freeze. Smoking some burgers & onions & Baked Beans to go with them right now. Will fry up the fries that did not fit into the bag in a bit for the burgers.
I would really like to get my hands on some genuine Maple Sugar. Probably have to do something on line I suppose to find it around here. I could see using that on more than Cinnamon Rolls too. -

Just watch the prices and check the ratings to what you are getting.

calldoctoday tell me about these home fries, I’m intrigued.

Sous vide sirloin tip roast, smoked crab poppers, smoked creamed corn, smoked bourbon apple cobbler.I spoiled myself with a braised ‘airline’ cut chicken breast (boneless skin-on breast with attached wing drumette) and served over a bed of fresh pasta from Passatempo Taverna, Lions Mane Mushrooms, Cauliflower and Castoldi Farms Asparagus.
Better Living Through BBQ!

Tex_77 Tex,
It’s pretty simple. Peel some russet potatoes. Cut them lengthwise apx. 1/2" wide. Soak them in ice cold water (cold water with ice cubes) for a little while. The water will turn cloudy. That is all the starch & you want to get that out of there to make em crispy. Rinse & soak in some more ice cold water. If the water is now clear, you are good. If the water is still a little cloudy, rinse em again in ice cold water (icy cold is the trick). Dry them either with sack clothes or naturally. Deep fry them up in a cast iron pot (Dutch oven) of fresh peanut oil until they are golden brown. Salt with sea salt over an expanded metal or screen drain. Watch em go, but don’t blink or you will not get to see them.
Oh, what you don’t fry you can freeze up in freezer bags. Just try to get all the air out as much as you can. Then you are ready for another batch without all the work. Cost to make a whole lot of them using 10 pounds of potatoes is $1.98 when the potatoes are on sale. They just seem to taste better! -
Smoked Chicken wings & quarters coming down today with a big pot of butter beans (Jackson wonders, the big ones) dried from last year’s garden. No such for this year as I was not too smart & decided to let the garden go fallow before the corona business hit. Oh, Persimmon bread for desert from some of last year’s persimmons pureed. For some odd reason we got no persimmons this winter, weird.
